An enhanced image helper class override for concrete5 that provides more modern object-oriented methods and output control. The inspiration for this borne for the desire to provide a way to abstract the <img/> rendering into a view, as a responsive image solution is currently on the horizon.
- Copy
image.phpinto yourSITE_ROOT/helpers/folder. - Optionally, copy the included HTML image element into
SITE_ROOT/elements/html/img.php. This file is ultimately optional, but is required to enable some of our more advanced methods, such as custom tag properties.
- Robust API for controlling output
- Abstracted view layer
As this was meant to be a drop-in replacement for the existing image helper, you don't have to do anything different once this is installed. You can, however, use the helper with a more object-oriented approach.
$image = Loader::helper('image');
$file = File::getByID(1);
// old method. still valid & works great.
$thumb = $image->getThumbnail($file, 640, 480);
// new method
$thumb = new Thumbnail($file)->setWidth(640);
// legacy method
echo '<img src="' . $thumb->src . '" />';
// our enhanced class includes a toString method that renders our tag automatically
echo $thumb;
// or you can call the method explicitly
$thumb->output();
// you can also set a custom element to alter the output
$thumb->setElementPath('html/img_gallery')->output();
